である。The mouse 10 has left and right click pieces 1 on its surface.
4 and 15 are provided. A ball (not shown) for moving the cursor is rotatably supported on the back side of the mouse body 16. Since the surface of the mouse main body 16 is empty, the microphone 11 is incorporated therein. Mouse cable 12 is USB
The standard allows both mouse and microphone signals to be transmitted.
The cable terminal 13 is also a USB connector conforming to the USB standard.
